Hunter Two-Tone Dog Whistle

Hunter Two-Tone Dog Whistle is a single whistle that produces two different tones, 4,700 Hz and 3,100 Hz, so you can give two distinct signals without carrying two whistles. It carries further than your voice, it sounds the same every time, and it does not carry your mood - which is most of the reason trainers prefer a whistle for recall.

Key Features

• Two Tones: 4,700 Hz and 3,100 Hz, so one whistle covers two commands - typically a recall and a stop or a change of direction.
• Consistent Signal: unlike your voice, a whistle sounds identical whether you are calm or exasperated. Dogs respond to the sound they were trained on.
• Carries Further: useful on a beach, in a park or anywhere your dog works at distance.
• Lanyard Or Clip: attaches to clothing adjustably, so it is on you rather than in a pocket when you need it.

Making It Mean Something

• A whistle is not a command until you train it. On its own it is just a noise. Pair the tone with something your dog already wants - food, a thrown toy - indoors first, then in the garden, then somewhere with distractions.
• Pick one tone per behaviour and never swap. If 4,700 Hz means come back, it always means come back. Mixing them up is the fastest way to make the whistle meaningless.
• Keep the pattern fixed too. Most people use several short pips for recall and one long blast for a stop. Whatever you choose, blow it the same way every time.
• Never blow it to no effect. If you whistle and your dog ignores it and nothing happens, you have just taught them it can be ignored. Only use it when you can follow through.

Good To Know

• This listing is one whistle with its lanyard fitting.
• Wear the lanyard yourself, not on the dog. A cord around a dog's neck is a strangulation risk.
• It is loud close up. Do not blow it beside your own or your dog's head.
• This is an audible whistle, not a silent or ultrasonic one - you will hear it clearly, and so will anyone else nearby.
• Rinse and dry it if it has been in sand or salt water.
